Because Sheng Hong was promoted and was about to travel to Bianliang, Tokyo, he took his eldest wife, Hua Lan and others to Runzhou to prepare to bid farewell to his father-in-law Wang's family. After all, in addition to fulfilling the etiquette, he also had to go to Runzhou. If Mrs. Wang's father, Mr. Wang, could give some pointers on his experience, it would certainly be helpful to Sheng Hong in his future career as a Beijing official.
Originally, Sheng Changbai should go, but because Sheng Changbai was studying at a critical moment and it was not advisable to travel far at this time, it would delay his studies, so he stayed.
Now, he can come back in time thanks to Gu Tingye!
After Gu Tingye met Minglan, he immediately asked someone to pass the news to him, asking him to go home from the academy quickly, so that he could arrive in time.
"Second brother!"
Seeing Sheng Changbai, Xiao Tao's eyes suddenly lit up!
"Second brother, come here quickly, our little girl gave birth to a brother, and they are about to rob him!"
At this time, Xiao Tao finally showed her ingenuity again and turned to Sheng Changbai directly for help.
"oh?"
Sheng Changbai's expression changed, he immediately opened his robe and walked over quickly!
"let me see!"
Sheng Changbai walked up to the three of them and looked at the little meat dumpling in the middle.
"hehe!"
Lin Sushuang, the master and the servant, quickly put down the child, laughed a few times, and then hurriedly found excuses: "Brother Bai, please don't listen to her nonsense. How could we rob the sister of the Wei family's child?"
"It's just that I was worried when I saw Xiaotao not taking good care of her, so I wanted to step forward to help!"
"Yeah yeah!"
"..."
The master and servant had kind faces and dark hearts, and they simply ignored the scars on Xiao Tao next to them!
"Hmm~"
Sheng Changbai snorted inexplicably, not knowing what it meant.
Lin Sushuang and Zhou Xueniang stood aside and looked at each other, wondering what Sheng Changbai meant by this.
Do you agree with their statement, or are you suspicious?
In desperation, he had to stand aside obediently and wait for the other party to speak.
Because, no matter what, Sheng Changbai is the eldest son of the Sheng family and the legitimate heir to the Sheng family. And who is Lin Sushuang?
She's just a concubine in Sheng Hong's name!
Sheng Changbai gave her father and concubine some face and could just call her "Mother". If she didn't like it, he could even point his nose at her and call her a bloody bitch!
As for Lin Sushuang's maid Zhou Xueniang, there is no need to say more!
Even if you beat him to death!
"Second brother, look!"
Xiao Tao stood on tiptoes, her small body trying hard to hold the swaddling clothes for Sheng Changbai to watch.
"This is the brother our little girl fought so hard to give birth to!"
"okay!"
"Let me do it!"
Seeing that Xiao Tao was struggling to hold the baby, Sheng Changbai quickly took the swaddle from the other person's arms.
"Let me take a look!"
With a bit of joy on his lips, Sheng Changbai carefully opened the thick quilt, revealing little Meng Yue wrapped inside.
"Boo~boo~"
"Boo~boo~"
At this time, little Mengyue was acting very well-behaved, and could not see anything different from ordinary people at all.
After all, from Meng Yue's point of view, in this era, it is better for him not to act special. Otherwise, other prodigies would not be taken as such, but would instead be regarded as monsters and thrown into the dung bucket... Drown!
However, despite saying this, Meng Yue is still a little special.
Because when he was born, he was not like other newborn children, who were wrinkled and red all over. Instead, he was white and tender, and fully grown, like a porcelain doll.
Cute, childish, and very fun.
At this moment, he was opening his mouth and spitting bubbles out. His fat little arms were waving like lotus joints, so tender that they were almost dripping with water. When people saw it, they couldn't help but think. Reach out and touch it.
Seeing this, Sheng Changbai sincerely showed an "aunt-like" smile, which seemed very peaceful, but suddenly, he restrained it and showed a hint of sadness.
"pitiful!"
Sheng Changbai sighed in his heart and looked a little sad.
Looking at his half-brother in front of him, Sheng Changbai was still very happy. No matter what, even if he was not a mother, the little guy in his arms would always be his brother. They were a family.
Blood is thicker than water!
In particular, this little guy is so well-born and cute in appearance. When people see him, they feel rare and can't help but smile.
The reason why Sheng Changbai felt sad was because the child had just been born, and he had not even seen his biological mother a few times, and he had already completely lost her!
She was feeling sad about the death of the little guy's biological mother. As the elder brother, Sheng Changbai was naturally quite sad.
"Brother Bai!"
"You see the child is still young, why don't you just leave him to me to take care of him!"
Seeing Sheng Changbai hugging the child and not letting go, Lin Sushuang felt a little anxious!
Because if she waits until Sheng Hong and his wife come back, she will have no room to operate on this matter.
"yes!"
"Brother Bai, how can you, a grown man, know how to take care of children?"
Zhou Xueniang said to the side: "If not, leave it to our little mother and let her take care of our brother for the Wei family!"
"Uh-huh!"
Lin Sushuang also nodded at the side, looking extremely concerned.
In fact, when Sheng Changbai came over, Lin Sushuang had already given up on letting Xiao Mengyue "reunite" with his mother. Because others had seen Xiao Mengyue's health condition, it would be absolutely impossible to do anything else. This is a stupid act!
If this was really done, then Sheng Hong himself would investigate thoroughly, not to mention others. After all, dying in childbirth is two different things from dying after giving birth.
Moreover, when it comes to the issue of heirs and the inheritance of incense, not only their Sheng Mansion, but even the clans from Youyang's hometown will send people over.
After all, although Sheng Hong's branch is the most prosperous in the entire Sheng family, the heirs are not very prosperous. Despite all the calculations, the entire second house only has three men. Although the official career is smooth, it is quite difficult for the heirs.
In other words, there are not enough descendants of the entire Sheng family. After all, the rise of the Sheng family only started from the generation of Sheng Hong's grandfather, and there is no foundation at all.
A few decades ago, the Sheng clan was just a lower-class clan that dug in the fields to make ends meet. How could there be any huge clan power?
Fortunately, the generation of Grandfather Sheng Hong and Mr. Sheng produced outstanding talents. The three brothers are all quite talented, and they are unwilling to be ordinary. They have the idea of changing their families. After decades of continuous hard work of the three brothers, they finally became the retainers. After acquiring a lot of assets, people of Sheng Xu's generation were qualified to study.
